2023 Monaco Grand Prix – Expert pick
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 9:45 a.m. ET.
SERGIO PEREZ (+500) picked up the victory last season at Circuit de Monaco, and he is a tremendous value for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 5 times.
Perez has been a model of consistency this season, hitting the podium in 4 of his 5 races. Max Verstappen (+100) is the chalk, but he settled for 3rd place last season after winning the 2021 installment. Perez has a legitimate chance at a Formula 1 championship this season, and a win at Monaco would be huge for the Mexican driver, Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate.
2023 Monaco Grand Prix – Long shot
While LEWIS HAMILTON (+2500) has posted some ugly numbers this season, he has topped the podium twice in the past 6 races at the Monaco Grand Prix since 2016.
Hamilton hasn’t touched the podium this season, but it’s crazy seeing the 6-time World Champion with such long odds. It’s worth a roll of the dice, hoping he can regain his composure and form.
